Tequila Jacks


Cork
27/11/2025: I am really disappointed with our most recent visit. This used to be one of our favourite places to catch up, but the experience this time was poor from start to finish. Even though we had a reservation and arrived early, we still waited about past our booking time to be seated. Partway through our meal we were asked to move our table backwards so a band could set up behind us, even though they did not start playing until right before we left. The music in the restaurant was already very loud, and the setup happening directly behind us made it extremely difficult to have a normal conversation. Service was slow all evening. There were long delays between dishes, and it was difficult to get anyone’s attention even to order drinks. My mixed meat fajitas cost 24 euro and were disappointing. The chicken portion was very disappointing size wise, and the steak was undercooked. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked, and the staff seemed far too busy to address it. What made this even more frustrating is that I emailed the restaurant privately on the 21st to share this feedback and never received a reply. After several great visits in the past, this experience and the complete lack of acknowledgement makes me very hesitant to return
24/11/2025: Disappointing experience. I made a table reservation, yet we still had to wait at the bar for a while before they seated us. Looking at other reviews it seems to be standard practice there to make guests wait. When I arrived, there was no one I could speak to about the reservation—waitresses just walked past me while looking at me, and I had no idea how things were supposed to work. Are you supposed to wait to be seated or choose a table yourself? I had also emailed them beforehand with a question and never received a reply. That day, they were missing a lot of ingredients. They were promoting drinks for 12 euros, but when you try to order them, they say they don’t have the ingredients. In that case, they should just remove the posters from the tables and the bar. I ended up ordering my fourth-choice drink because of lack of ingredients. When we were eating, we asked for extra sauce because the meat was dry. We chose the verde sauce, which the waitress recommended, but she later came back to say they were out of that as well. Do not order the beef—it was not good. I had to chew it endlessly just to swallow it, and in the end, I had to spit some of it out. Overall, the service is not very friendly. There is a strange attitude; they don’t seem very communicative, they look at you with no reaction whatsoever, no smile. But they asked several times if I was finished with my food while passing by, even though i did not look for eye contact at that time, they seem with no consideration. Give people some time—if I’m ready, I’ll move my plate away myself.

Zambrero


Cork
15/10/2025: Even when it's busy (and it can be quite busy), the staff always take the time to fill the burrito to a high standard. Also, they are always friendly and at times I can see they're under pressure but they are very patient and friendly with kids. My 5 year old loves it, and he only wants burritos from Zambrero so I put that down to the friendly atmosphere the staff create. Also, I never had an issue with the food, they're generous with the fillings and we do leave full and satisfied and as my son says...."it's Delicious".
30/09/2025: Crazy prices for mediocre food. I got a large burrito with double beef, cost me €17 and I was struggling to find the beef. Absolute joke!

La Calavera


Cork
07/09/2025: Got the best taco fries here, lovely friendly gentlemen serving, good location and great price
20/08/2025: Meat is slightly underseasoned and slightly too dry. Portions are decent. The overall meal is very dry because there is a lack of sauce, even though I had sour cream and salsa in it. There is not many flavours really as the balance between components is lacking. Ingredients however seem to be off decent quality.
